The last edition of Banda de Ipanema happened on Mardi-Gras, Carnival Tuesday, and of course we were there.
This was the second hottest day in the summer, in a Carnival that did not see a drop of rain. The concentration of drag queens and people in fun costumes was higher than ever.
Many drags come to Rio for the Gay Costume Ball in Leblon, and they always warm up at the Banda.
If you missed the parade, it's time to start planning for 2008. See you soon!
